Abstract
This paper proposes a new method for analyzing the locational avoidance of store chains by using a Geographical Information System. First a spatial competition between stores is defined by examining the adjacency of their market areas. Second a statistical method for testing the avoidance of store chains is presented. Third this method is applied to convenience store chains in several areas around Tokyo. Some empirical findings are shown.
